Steps

1

Sieve the flour,add in the yeast directly into it and the sugar and cinnamon.Add oil in the milk and mix.
2

Start kneading with the milk adding a little at a time until you have a good soft(but firm,not sticky) dough.Knead it for about 15 minutes pounding it as much as possible.(To see if it's kneaded enough,roll it into a ball and using a sharp knife,make a deep slit through it,it should look slightly bubbly on the inside.
3

Divide the dough into two and shape into balls.Let them sit to rise in a warm place for an hour or so.You can also wrap in a cling film and freeze for whenever you need to make mahamri.
4

When ready to use,place each ball in a floured surface.Divide each ball in half again and form smooth balls in each.
5

Roll each ball into a circle of quarter inch thick.Divide each circle into 4 sections.Continue with the rest of the balls.
6

Place all the sections on a lightly floured surface and keep covered in a warm place for an hour or so.
7

After sitting for about an hour, the sections will have risen.
8

Put the mahamri section into the hot oil.Don't let them puff too high before turning otherwise they will form cracks.When they start puffing up,turn them over.
9

Fry till a good golden brown colour appears.
10

It's well cooked and soft.
